I have recntly started playing the guitar, and I have noticed that many good guitar players have very long fingers. Are they so good because their fingers were always long, or did their fingers grow from all that exercise they had while playing an instrument involving fingers? My cousin also plays guitar and piano, and she has long fingers, so I was wondering if playing the guitar will make my fingers grow eventually?
No, your fingers won’t grow but they will be flexible and faster.
I’ve been playing the guitar for 3 years now and I noticed that my fingers became flexible and faster in changing chords, notes etc. You will be a fast learner when your fingers become fast and flexible.
Playing the guitar didn’t make any change in size with my fingers, it just made my fingers used to the guitar. Playing the piano will definitely change your finger’s size because you’ll be reaching notes with your fingers.
I’ve worked with many guitar players and piano players, and when you look at their fingers,I can’t really see the difference of their fingers.
